The public often relies on these facilities for daily needs and conveniences. Our managers and crews take special care to speed up getting these facilities up and running again, while also prioritizing safety and health concerns. We take every precaution to ensure the well-being of staff and patrons while delivering prompt and effective cleanup and repairs. In some cases, our crew may establish containment or arrange a pack-out to expedite the recovery process and prevent a complete building closure.

Our SERVPRO restoration specialists create tailored plans and estimates for successful property recovery, providing the solutions and services necessary to restore your commercial property. This allows your facility to resume serving the local community as soon as possible.

WATER DAMAGE

Whatever the cause of your commercial water damage in Old Bridge and beyond, the inconvenience to your daily operations remains the same. The type and category of water damage affecting your property have a significant impact on the required restoration services, procedures, costs, and duration. Swift and effective mitigation is key to preventing additional damage and preserving your structure and possessions. Delaying mitigation and remediation efforts exposes the facility's structural components to increasingly severe damage. Learn more about our local water damage restoration services.

FIRE DAMAGE

Regardless of the cause of your commercial fire, the aftermath can extend beyond the initial flames, causing widespread destruction. Quick action is essential to prevent further damage from smoke and soot. Restoring your Middlesex County municipal property after a destructive fire necessitates various restoration techniques. Your facility might also suffer from water damage caused by firefighting efforts or extensive contamination from smoke and soot exposure. Contacting our IICRC certified fire cleanup and restoration crew immediately initiates the inspection and pre-testing process. This identifies the scope of damages and the specific path to recovery for your property. Our technicians act swiftly to contain and assess the damaged areas, working to reverse signs of damage throughout your building. Fires can leave visible soot and charring, as well as less apparent smoke deposits and residues that quickly corrode surfaces, causing permanent damage. Learn more about our local fire, smoke, and soot damage restoration services.

MOLD DAMAGE

Several factors within your building can contribute to ideal conditions for mold growth. Hidden moisture and high humidity can result from inadequate cleanup following water intrusion, leading to rapid mold damage. Mold infestations in local facilities can escalate quickly without proper intervention. Taking quick action to mitigate damages ensures the safety of your property, employees, and patrons. The sooner our professional restoration team addresses a mold problem, the less overall damage will occur to air quality, possessions, and structural components such as wood, drywall, ceiling tiles, and flooring. Containment is crucial during mold remediation, and in larger facilities, it may take several days to restore proper indoor air quality. Our preventative measures include the use of physical barriers, establishing clean rooms, and creating decontamination zones to prevent the infestation's spread. Our experienced certified technicians prioritize both staff health and safety and the ability to keep your building operational. Learn more about our local mold damage cleanup and remediation services.

Mold Remediation Solutions for ALL Types of New Jersey Commercial Facilities

5/4/2022 (Permalink)

Mold colonization in commercial facilities and warehouses can quickly get out of control without appropriate mitigation, SERVPRO is here to help with mold remediation for all types of local New Jersey businesses.

Flooding and water damage most often have sweeping consequences on a commercial property, requiring many different types of property damage restoration services including water removal, demolition, deodorization, and decontamination, drying and dehumidifying and rebuilding. Whether your property just experienced a heavy rain intrusion, a common appliance malfunction or hazardous plumbing leak. Commercial water damage cleanup and restoration can be complicated, it most often requires a set of detailed steps to make sure the water is properly extracted, cleaned up, dried, and mitigated, when these steps aren’t taken, and moisture continues to plaque your building mold growth will often occur. Mold grows quickly and can spread throughout a property in as little as 24-48 hours. Any commercial property can quickly become infested with mold if a source of water is present, the key to preventing excessive mold growth is to control moisture. That’s why it’s important to act quickly if your commercial property experiences a water damage or you see any signs of hidden water damage or visible mold. SERVPRO is a leading provider of mold remediation services across the country, our mold certified technicians can assess your commercial warehouse or building to evaluate the extent of the damage and advise owners and managers of the proper steps to remediate and restore your facility, “Like it never even happened.”

Mold Damage to Your Commercial Warehouse or Building?

Mold is a microscopic, airborne fungus that exists all around us, it occurs naturally in our surroundings and usually reproduces by releasing spores into the environment. In nature, mold plays an important role in the decomposition of organic material. Mold requires both organic material and a consistent source of moisture to grow. Many materials in homes and business contain the organic materials and under the right circumstances can be conducive to mold growth. When excessive moisture accumulates indoors, drywall, wood, paneling, ceiling tiles, carpeting, insulation, paper, cardboard, fabric, upholstery and even paint will encourage mold growth. If there is a consistent water source, mold will continue to colonize and break down organic material into dusty, dirt-like matter. Neglecting mold damage for an extended period can cause unnecessary damage to your home and risk possible health effects to occupants. It’s never too early nor too late to address commercial property mold damage.

When excessive moisture accumulates inside buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains unaddressed. It is impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. However, mold growth can be controlled indoors by controlling moisture indoors.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends these tips to prevent commercial property mold damage

  • Ensure all leaky plumbing is fixed; Correct all noticed wet spots.
  • Completely eliminate condensation through insulating or increasing air circulation.
  • Reduce the moisture level in the air and add ventilation to reduce humidity.
  • Maintain indoor humidity level below 60% with a goal of 30-50%.
  • Conduct routine building and HVAC inspections.
  • Provide proper drainage and sloping to eliminate wet foundations.

About the Coronavirus and Covid-19

The coronavirus is believed to spread primarily through personal contact, between people who are within about six feet of one another, through airborne respiratory droplets that are produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It may also be possible to catch the virus by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. “Social distancing” has become the new watchword and the key to slowing the pandemic. In this rapidly changing situation, Americans are experiencing unprecedented canceling of events and widespread closings of schools, restaurants and workplaces. Along with avoiding large crowds and keeping a six-foot distance from others, the most common advice from experts is to wash hands frequently and avoid touching faces.

Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) website for the latest and most accurate information on the coronavirus and Covid-19. Because this outbreak is unfolding rapidly and unpredictably, we at SERVPRO encourage you to check back with the CDC frequently for updates.

The Importance of Proactive Cleaning During COVID-19 Pandemic

According to the CDC, “Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in households and community settings.” Today, when the need is most urgent, SERVPRO of Old Bridge/Cranbury is prepared—right now—to clean, sanitize and disinfect your home or business to eradicate traces of coronavirus or other pathogens.

Many types of businesses can benefit from SERVPRO’s proactive cleaning, which targets the coronavirus and other pathogens:

sewage backup and property damage SERVPRO technicians can arrive quickly and are experienced in cleaning and restoring messy and hazardous “black water” situations.

SERVPRO is here to help with ALL types of commercial property restoration services to keep your organization looking and running at its best. One of the worst disasters, although very common a commercial property can experience is a sewage backup. A sewage backup can occur for many reasons, when your plumbing systems fails it will cause your sewer lines and drain pipes to fill up until it eventually overflows. When this happens, you’ll need to find a dependable commercial sewage removal company near you.

Our teams are IICRC certified in sewage and biohazard cleanup with special training and equipment necessary to mitigate and protect your commercial property and contents from further harm.

Common Concerns associated with Commercial Sewage Backup Damages

Sewage poses the same risk of cosmetic and structural damage as a typical water damage, with an added potential for significant health risks. Depending on the category of water involved in the sewage backup, it poses a risk of containing bacterial and viral contaminants, parasites, and mold. The longer you wait to have sewage cleaned up, the greater the risk of these contaminants. Biohazard sewage cleanup should be performed by a highly-trained, certified professional in order to ensure the safety of the affected area as well as the inhabitants of the property. Many life-threatening biohazards exist due to raw sewage exposure. Most porous items that meet raw sewage must be handled properly by certified professionals and disposed of in a safe manner.

Occupants should exercise caution during times of "black water" invasions including:

  • They should avoid all contact with sewage and all items contaminated by sewage.
  • They should wash their hands thoroughly after encountering anything that might be contaminated.

Health Risks, Contamination, and Mold

Due to the nature of sewage, it is likely to contaminate porous materials with dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites.

Cosmetic Damage

Sewage can stain and discolor ceilings, walls, carpeting, and floors, damage furniture and fabrics, weaken drywall and plaster.

Structural Damage

Depending on the amount of contaminated water, it can severely weaken or permanently damage structural elements to your property. Drywall and plaster may disintegrate, and crumble and wooden studs and subfloor can warp or split.

Damage to Inventory and Contents

Sewage can contaminate or even destroy inventory and possessions like furniture, copiers, electronics, books, supplies, records and many other items.

HVAC Unit Cleaning, Air Duct and Vent Cleaning

HVAC systems are often the biggest culprit when it comes to poor indoor air quality and a leading cause in increased allergy symptoms. The air inside your New Jersey home/business is full of tiny particles like dust, pollen and debris, when you run your furnace or air conditioner it pulls in airborne particles. Over time, these contaminants can build up inside the ducts, reducing airflow and re-circulating allergens throughout your living/working space.

Our trained professionals at SERVPRO of Old Bridge/Cranbury use commercial-grade, duct-cleaning equipment including brushes and air whips, that remove dust and debris trapped inside your duct system and leave your property with optimal indoor air quality.

  • Dusting blinds and window treatments bi-weekly
  • Regularly washing blankets and throw rugs
  • Washing all bed linens in hot water every week
  • Keeping counters and other hard surfaces clean and dry

Benefits of Air Duct & HVAC Cleaning

More frequent duct cleaning is recommended if you have indoor pets or are sensitive to indoor air quality issues for example you suffer from asthma.

Have our SERVPRO of Old Bridge/Cranbury professionals perform HEALTH AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Services with our HVAC & AIR DUCT CLEANING Team.

10/29/2018 (Permalink)

air duct equipment HVAC and Air Duct System will start to slowly collect dirt and debris, the cumulative effect of this over time can lead to considerable energy loss.

Health and energy efficiency is a major concern for many New Jersey property owners and managers. It is becoming increasingly important to clean and maintain your HVAC and Air Duct systems to avoid any negative impact it could have on the health and efficiency of your property and occupants.
 
As much as half of the energy used in your home or business goes to heating and cooling. Making smart decisions about your heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills — and your comfort.

BENEFITS OF OUR HEALTH & ENERGY EFFICIENCY SERVICES

  • Restore peak energy efficiency & lower energy costs
  • Eliminate allergens and odors
  • Reduce the potential for mold growth


Through normal HVAC use dirt and debris will start to slowly collect on the surfaces of your HVAC components, these contaminants if not properly maintained can cause a degradation of the efficiency of the entire system. The cumulative effect of this over time can lead to considerable energy loss and can be a contributor to higher energy bills for your New Jersey home or business. In addition, allergy and asthma sufferers, young children, and other occupants with breathing difficulties are more susceptible to poor indoor air quality.

COMMON PROBLEM AREAS

These are common problem areas that contribute to restricted airflow, increased energy consumption and reduced equipment longevity:

  • Duct and System Leakage
  • Closed, Clogged or Stuck Dampers
  • Filtration Issues
  • Excess or Damaged Ductwork
  • Failed Duct Liner
  • Clogged/Nonfunctioning Exhaust Systems


SERVPRO of Old Bridge/Cranbury professionals can perform an inspection to access your system and determine the depth of your problem and if your system could benefit from our cleaning and maintenance services. If moisture is present, the potential for mold growth is increased, sending spores into your working or living spaces, creating a much larger problem. 
 

HVAC AND AIR DUCT CLEANING

Generally, refers to the cleaning of various heating and cooling system components of forced air systems, including the supply and return air ducts and registers, grilles and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pains, fan motor and fan housing, and the air handling unit housing.
 
PARTS OF AN HVAC UNIT THAT CAN BENEFIT FROM ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:

  • EVAPORATOR COIL: particle buildup can have an insulating effect on the surface of the coil, leading to longer cooling times and greater energy consumption.
  • HEATING COIL: dust and dirt will accumulate and clog air passages this restricts air flow and the furnace must run longer to reach desired temperatures. If a coil is severely impacted by debris, it can cause the unit to malfunction.
  • DAMPERS AND TURNING VANES: these elements ensure proper air flow throughout your system, particles or larger debris like insulation can obstruct or diminish airflow, leading to an overall degradation of the entire system.
  • AIR REGISTERS: dust and debris can accumulate on the blades and seriously reduce air flow, negatively impacting overall energy performance and comfort levels in the space.
  • FRESH AIR INTAKE SCREEN: these openings are integral to the quality of air inside your building, they quickly become clogged from environmental debris and buildup inhibits proper fresh air from entering the system.
  • FAN AND BLOWERS: particle buildup can reduce the capacity of the blades to move adequate air causing the blower motor to run longer while pushing less air per rotation. 

When HVAC systems are cleaned of dirt and debris, it doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain the desired temperatures, air can flow more freely. As a result, less energy is used, leading to improved cost-effectiveness, longer operating life, as well as health benefits and energy savings.

Our team of professionals can inspect your local New Jersey HVAC or air duct system and access your specific situation and work with you to provide a solution to keep your business air quality healthy and energy efficient. The exact solution for your New Jersey property will depend on a few factors, including the size of your overall duct and vent system, how accessible your HVAC system is to our technicians, and the level of maintenance required.

Our fire and smoke restoration technicians will restore your business quickly. After cleaning the damage our technicians will begin removing the odor, so there is no smoky smell. Once the smell is removed, they will restore your fabric and upholstery.

Water damage can be caused by a plethora of causes; flooding, blizzards, even sprinklers that turned on as a result of a recent fire, can all have significant effects on your business (no matter how large or small your company). After all the contaminated water is removed, our experts will begin the structural drying. Once everything has dried, we will contain and remove the odor. Lastly, we will clean all the fabric and upholstery.

Mold remediation is necessary if stagnant water has been allowed to pool. It can be difficult to remove mold, especially from larger commercial properties. Our team of professionals can take care of everything; applied microbial remediation, water damage restoration, applied structural drying, and—of course—odor control and fabric cleaning.

Small or large office buildings, big box warehouses, or even apartment buildings—we will clean it all!
